If while driving in the car, you can hear other sounds outside of the front wheels, possibly, their source is a bearing.If time does not make a diagnosis and replacement of these parts, the machine will soon lose control, so further operation of such cars is undesirable.To make sure your iron friend regained previous characteristics, you need to change the faulty spare part.Today we will explain in detail to you as replacing the wheel bearing.
Tools
Just note that this process requires special knowledge and tools.Replacing the front hub bearing is complete without the use of special pullers.Of course, some craftsmen manage to get out without them, but not always the result of such work is justified.In addition to this we need a torque wrench, rubber "shoes" as a support for the vehicle, bench screw, a jack and a set of hand tools.
Started
First, we need to remove the hub cap, which prevents the penetration of road dust to the bearing.To do this, you can apply a minus screwdriver or a special blade.Then turn down the edge of the slot nuts stud, then unscrew it a little bit.Then set up under the wheels of a support car to get down when picked Bulkhead jack.To be safe, you can turn even the parking brake.Next, unscrew the 4 bolts securing the wheel to the hub.Now we take up the jack and set it to the front of the vehicle.Then replace the front wheel bearing is accompanied by the dismantling of the brake pads.Then unscrew the bolt and remove the bearing steel washer located at the bottom part.
This replacement front wheel bearing ends.We got only half of the process.Ahead we are removing the hub by means of a stripper and clamp it in a vise locksmith to remove the retaining ring (it fixes the inner side of the bearing mechanism).Then we take a universal stripper and extract the bearing.Disassemble the hub should be thoroughly washed in a potent solution.The acid used is not necessarily enough to just wash the item in the Local or gasoline.
Replacing front wheel bearing takes place in reverse order:
- first press-fit a new bearing.
- Then install the retaining ring.
- Hub puts on a pin and insert washer.
- Screw the nut and collect the brake pads.
- Mount the wheel back.
- tighten the nut bearing.
- Install protective cap.
- Check fixings.
- go!
At this stage, the question of how replacing the front wheel bearing, can be considered closed.Finally I would like to mention one detail.Tightening the nuts Bearing Kit is desirable to produce a force of 250 N / m.Heavily laced item will serve as long as the one that swirled in moderation.
